Android Balistic Calculator

i just stumbled across this app for android based devices on Applied Balistics web site. it is developed by Sean Kennedy and berger bullets Bryan Litz and it works very well using the droid gps and atmospheric data. there is also a free kestrel bluetooth update. going to take it out for spin. www.appliedbalisticsllc.com gun)

I just got an update for shooter on my Droid X. I can't seem to find my look angle or azimuth. In the previous version I could click "get' and the position of my phone would calculate look angle and azimuth. Anybody else having this issue? The buttons are layed out so it is easier to select what you are changing but my ability to use my phone to "get" my angles is gone. If this can't be fixed, it would be a HUGE handicap. I would need a calculator and compass for my phone that already has both.

I figured out my issue with the "get" buttons. You have to hit the menu button to get them.

Daves-
I use the shooter app without a kestral. I estimate my wind vaule (helps when I have a cheapo wind meter). For spin drift calcualtions you will need to know twist rate. You have everything else. If your phone has an accelerometer (most smart phones do) it will calcualte angle for the shot. If it has GPS it will calculate latitude and azimuth for Coriolis, if you want to get really fancy.

I have a rangefinder with TBR that calculates the angle and give me a yardage to shoot for due to the angle. I think that combined witht he droid I can have alot of fun. Thanks.
